Personalised Suggestions with Enhanced Security[2]

One UI 8 recognises the user’s context, offering personalised, proactive suggestions that support their unique daily routines. As Galaxy AI[3] becomes more intelligent, so does its commitment to protecting private data. One UI 8 combines advanced personalisation tools with top-tier security features, helping anticipate user needs while helping keeping information safe.

• Now Bar[4] shows real-time app activity and media player progress directly on Galaxy Z Flip’s FlexWindow, and is also now integrated with even more third-party apps.
• Now Brief[5] provides even more personalised daily updates including traffic, important reminders and Samsung Moments, which allows users to reflect on their daily routines. They can also get personalised suggestions and recommendations, such as music and video picks based on subscriptions and interests. In addition, personalised health insights from Galaxy Watch are also easily accessible.
• Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)[6] is a new security architecture designed to safeguard the next generation of AI experiences used by Galaxy’s Personal Data Engine (PDE).[7] KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device, ensuring each app can only access its own sensitive information.
• Knox Matrix can take security a step further by automatically signing devices out of the Samsung Account if flagged for serious risks[8]. It sends notifications across connected Galaxy devices and gives additional guidance on how to protect data.

Intelligent Multimodality: AI That Works the Way the User Does

Powered by multimodal AI designed to deliver experiences tailored to user needs, One UI 8 transforms the way users interact with Galaxy devices. By combining visual, auditory and contextual intelligence, it makes everyday tasks intuitive and effortless.

• Gemini Live[9] allows for natural, seamless communication with AI that understands what the user is seeing or watching in real-time, without the need for switching between apps.
• Circle to Search with Google[10] gives in-the-moment gaming help when the user circles anything on the screen during game-play. It provides more information about characters and strategies to help the user navigate to the exact spot in the game, with helpful links and videos from across the web to explore further. With Circle to Search’s improved translation capabilities, users can see translated text in real-time as they scroll and interact with the screen[11]. From news articles to social media posts, they will see instant, on-screen translations of the underlying text in their preferred language.

UX Optimised for Multiple Form Factors

One UI 8 redefines versatility with UX optimised across the Galaxy product portfolio. Designed to adapt to the unique form factors of Galaxy smartphones and tablets, One UI 8 ensures seamless functionality while boosting productivity and efficiency.

• AI Results View displays results from AI features in a separate Split View or Floating View, keeping their original content visible and unobstructed.
• Thanks to Galaxy AI Optimised for Large Screens, Multi Window lets users drag and drop AI-generated content — including images and text — directly into their workflow. Tools like Drawing Assist[12] and Writing Assist[13] unlock an even smoother creative process, as users can move ideas and visuals around more easily than ever before.
• Gemini Live is now available directly on Flip’s FlexWindow for hands-free voice search, acting as a personal assistant right on the cover screen.[14]
• Audio Eraser[15] proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise, like wind or traffic, with a single tap on a new toggle in video apps and audio apps.
• With advanced customisation even for FlexWindow, users can easily create a wallpaper by receiving recommendations and auto-curated wallpapers from the Gallery.[16] Emojis and background colors are also customisable for FlexWindow Emojis wallpaper[17].

One UI 8 also provides AI-powered tools like Portrait Studio[18], which can capture the vibrant expressions of pets and then generate artistic, studio-like pet portraits. Users can also enjoy seamless communication in noisy environments with Call Captions — which instantly converts voices into text during calls — as well as keyboard inputs when using Interpreter[19], which allows users to translate ideas by typing.

The rapid rise and popularity of AI technology has had many companies racing to jump on the wagon. Yet for Samsung, AI is not new. We have been building intelligent connectivity into our devices for over a decade, as part of our continuous efforts to deliver deep and meaningful benefits to users through our technology and innovation. Having unveiled our “AI for All” vision at CES 2025 earlier this year, Samsung is on a mission to empower users through AI at every touchpoint.

We recently sat down with CU Kim, President and CEO of Southeast Asia & Oceania (SEAO), at Samsung Electronics, to discuss Samsung’s distinctive approach to AI in one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic regions. What emerges is a picture of innovation grounded in a deep understanding and vision of AI’s role in creating impactful, personal everyday experiences.

Q: How would you describe Samsung’s approach to AI in Southeast Asia and Oceania region?

A: We’re focused on democratising AI so that it delivers genuine value to consumers across different price points, regardless of their level of technical literacy. Today, 77% of SEAO users of Galaxy AI-powered devices are using our variety of Galaxy AI[1] features[2], which are available not just on our latest flagship models, but also on previous flagship models, FE and Tab series[3]. Users of our affordable A series range[4] can also enjoy AI features such as Circle to Search with Google[5] and Best Face[6] which selects and combines the best expressions for up to five people from a motion photo for a perfect shot.

What sets our approach apart is how we’re integrating AI to solve real challenges that consumers face. Take communication, for instance. Our translation features, which break down language barriers, is a useful tool to navigate our region’s incredible linguistic diversity. Our on-device Galaxy AI features can also operate independently without requiring constant cloud connectivity[7] – providing a reliable experience for SEAO users regardless of varying network infrastructure across the region.

Looking beyond mobile, we are extending this intelligence to our entire ecosystem of devices and appliances. Home AI learns from your habits and routines to develop a hyper-personalised smart home experience for you. This is underpinned by SmartThings[8], our smart home platform that connects and creates truly intelligent homes so you can have full control over your living space.

Q: How do you see AI transforming the landscape across Southeast Asia and Oceania?

A: With AI technology, consumers today have higher expectations of their day-to-day experiences whether in terms of efficiency, seamlessness and ease of use. For example, internal data is showing that AI capabilities such as the AI ProVisual Engine and Enhanced Search capabilities were the most sought-after AI features on our Galaxy S25 series among both Samsung and non-Samsung users. Even in households, consumers are looking out for smart features and functions when considering TV purchases[9], such as our latest line-up of OLED and Neo QLED TVs, which deliver a personalised and advanced viewing experience through their AI features.

In our region, we are deeply passionate about creating new possibilities for the next generation who are embracing AI with remarkable enthusiasm, optimism, and even a touch of resilience. In fact, based on a recent survey we conducted[10], a staggering 9 out of 10 youths in Southeast Asia are already incorporating AI tools and services into their day to day, whether for learning, creative tasks, staying informed, or more altruistic purposes like driving positive change in their communities. And while 65% of youth believe that AI will create new job opportunities, they are likewise cognisant that some jobs will inevitably disappear – further taking concrete steps to learn more about AI and develop AI-related skills.

Q: For businesses and organisations, how will AI shape Samsung’s growth strategy in the SEAO region?

A: The opportunities for businesses and organisations to tap into and benefit from AI in our region are tremendous. With SEAO’s rapidly developing digital infrastructure, businesses here are uniquely positioned to leapfrog legacy systems and implement AI-driven solutions from the ground up.

We want to bring our best AI-powered digital solutions to business partners. Through initiatives like SmartThings Pro[11], we are enabling businesses to create intelligent environments that enhance operational efficiency and customer experiences. This B2B platform is set to transform new categories and industries – for example, providing personalised and sustainable hospitality experiences to hotel guests; or enabling the remote management of displays and devices across multiple buildings in commercial facilities, from shopping malls to educational institutions.

That said, a key element of our B2B strategy is not just our technology, it’s our openness to foster close partnerships to create customised AI solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes. In Indonesia, we recently launched the Samsung Digital Lighthouse School program together with two schools, Al Muslim Bekasi and Salman Al Farisi Bandung, to enhance the learning experiences of over 2,500 students through the Galaxy Tab S and A Series.

Q: What excites you the most about upcoming innovations and what’s next for Samsung?

A: I’m particularly excited to see how our innovations empower communities to elevate passions. Gaming enthusiasts for example, will love the transformed mobile gaming experience on the Galaxy S25 series, with console-quality visuals enabled by features like ProScaler[12] and advanced Ray Tracing, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite[13] for Galaxy processor.

Gaming is very important to us at Samsung, and we have partnered with Moonton Games to bring the first-ever MLBB Campus Series tournament to student gamers in SEA. This is part of Samsung’s Galaxy Gaming Academy[14] efforts to champion the next generation of esports players.

When it comes to everyday living, we have moved beyond simple device control to creating intelligent environments that anticipate needs. Samsung Health[15] and SmartThings⁷ can optimise sleep environments by automatically adjusting temperature and humidity based on users’ sleep patterns and the environmental conditions they live in[16].

By maintaining our focus on accessibility, personalisation and security, we’re working to ensure that AI becomes a trusted companion that empowers instead of complicating daily life. Our upcoming innovations like the new Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone and the Bespoke AI home appliances with SmartThings⁷, for example, will continue to embody this commitment. The future of AI is not about replacing human capability but enhancing them. At Samsung, we are privileged to be building that future together with the communities across SEAO in time to come.

• Advanced AI and redesigned S Pen: One UI 8 enables more natural and intuitive interactions[1], while a redesigned S Pen offers improved comfort and control for both writing and drawing, enabling users to experience next level creativity and productivity.
• Smarter multitasking with Samsung DeX[2]: New Extended Mode transforms your Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and compatible external monitor into a true dual- screen setup, while users can create up to four customisable workspaces for different needs.
• Slim and powerful: With a 3nm processor and Samsung’s thinnest tablet design yet, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra delivers fast, smooth performance in a portable form.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11, delivering its most intelligent and advanced tablet experience yet. Powered by the latest Galaxy AI[3], now enhanced by One UI 8[4] and new multimodal capabilities, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Tab to date, going beyond a slim form factor to show what a premium tablet can be. Together, the series is built for effortless productivity on the go, combining pro-grade hardware with experiences optimised for a large screen.

With upgraded Samsung DeX and a redesigned S Pen, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra supports focused multitasking and seamless workflows, while also enabling creative expression in a sleek, portable form. Whether capturing ideas in a meeting, summarising lecture notes or sketching out visual concepts, the Galaxy Tab S11 series empowers users to handle more with less friction, wherever they are.

“The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra combines AI innovation with refined hardware to deliver a true multitasking experience that reflects Samsung’s deep experience in mobile productivity,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the latest Galaxy AI and new multimodal capabilities, these flagship tablets enable ultimate efficiency – empowering users to work, create and flow more naturally across a versatile, large screen.”

Powering Everyday Tasks with Advanced AI

With One UI 8, the Galaxy Tab S11 series brings multimodal AI to the forefront – understanding what users type, say and see, and responding in real time with helpful suggestions, these tools unlock a more fluid way to work, create and stay in flow across any task.

• Gemini Live[5] enables real-time screen sharing and visual input, so users can have a natural conversation with Gemini about what they’re looking at. Whether it’s on-screen content or an object that someone wants to show by pointing the camera at it – Gemini Live can handle contextual questions and requests by seeing what the user sees. For instance, a user in a class can easily screen share their notes, then ask Gemini to interpret a chart or explain the study material and summarise its insights.
• By pressing and holding the side button, users can activate Gemini and carry out commands across apps with a single command. For instance, when there’s no time to read a lengthy article, users can share the link with Gemini and say, “Summarise this article and save it to Samsung Notes,” making it easier to catch up later. It simplifies complex actions so users can stay in their flow.

The Galaxy Tab S11 series is packed with additional tools for effortless productivity and creativity – including the full suite of Galaxy AI[6] features, optimised for the large screen.

• Users can turn rough sketches into clean visuals with Drawing Assist[7], then even drag and drop[8] images they’ve created into Samsung Notes as a starting point for further ideation – perfect for brainstorming, visual planning or creative exploration.
• Writing Assist[9] helps rework tone and style, so users can easily refine a piece of writing to ensure it matches their intended meaning before dropping it into an email, document or other apps.
• While multitasking, users can keep Galaxy AI close at hand as a moveable and compact overlay, presented in a floating view,[10] allowing them to summarise the content on their screen without breaking focus.
• Circle to Search[11] with Google is now even more helpful for getting context and diving deeper into anything users see on their device’s screen. Users are able to translate text in real-time as they scroll and interact.

• The Galaxy Tab S11 series comes with the newly redesigned S Pen[12] that’s built for both focused work and creative expression. Its new cone-shaped pen tip supports increased tilt angles for better control, while a hexagonal design provides a more natural, ergonomic feel that’s comfortable and stable in the hand. Quick Tools[13] make it easy to adjust on the fly while drawing or editing with floating access, while Sticky Note lets users capture sudden thoughts or to-dos directly over Samsung Notes – no more app switching required during document review.

Full-Scale Productivity

In addition to Galaxy AI, the enhanced Samsung DeX[14] on the Galaxy Tab S11 series empowers users to maximise their productivity when multitasking across apps, taking notes during meetings or simply mapping out ideas. Whether you’re a designer building out visual concepts or a frequent traveller planning a trip across apps and displays, the Galaxy Tab S11 series features support every step, from researching and sketching to sharing polished results.

The latest Samsung DeX upgrades unlock next-level productivity, starting with Extended Mode, which transforms Galaxy Tab S11 and a compatible external monitor into a seamless dual-screen setup. It runs Samsung DeX across both screens simultaneously for more intuitive multitasking and greater flexibility– now users can drag and drop apps between connected displays or reference a document on one screen while presenting on the other. Also new to Samsung DeX, users can now create up to four separate, customised workspaces for different needs. For example, one workspace can be dedicated for work, another to creative projects and a third to planning a trip.

With the upgraded Samsung DeX, users can set up a full working environment from virtually anywhere – whether it’s connecting to a compatible meeting room TV for a presentation or adding final touches to a work document at the airport lounge just before starting a vacation. Combined with Book Cover Keyboard Slim[15], the Galaxy Tab S11 series easily transforms into a personalised, mobile workstation with instant access to AI assistants through the dedicated Galaxy AI Key[16].

Made to Perform, Built to Move

The Galaxy Tab S11 series delivers its most advanced performance yet, equipped with cutting-edge hardware and immersive visuals in a slim, highly portable design. Samsung brings its enhanced 3nm processor to Galaxy Tab for the first time in the S11 series, offering faster processing, smoother multitasking and more responsive AI features. Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra boasts performance improvements in NPU,CPU and GPU[17]. Additionally, a powerful battery[18] and efficient thermal management ensure reliable, long-lasting use for work, creativity and everything in between.

Performance matched by purposeful design reflects Samsung’s hardware innovation – delivering ultra-thin and light, yet powerful devices ready for everyday versatility. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra features a remarkably slim build at just 5.1 mm[19], with narrow 5.2 mm bezels[20] that expand screen space without compromising portability. Across both models, Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays deliver up to 1600 nits of peak brightness[21], ensuring clear, vivid visuals indoors or out, so users can stay focused wherever they work.

Tools That Fit the Way Users Work

The Galaxy Tab S11 series makes it easy to get started with work or creative projects with extensive third-party apps[22]. There is easy access to Goodnotes, Clip Studio Paint, LumaFusion and Notion – supporting everything from sketching and note-taking to flexible project planning. Galaxy users also enjoy exclusive benefits, with special offers that make it easier to explore these premium tools, work smarter and unlock their creative potential. Goodnotes[23] offers a 1-year free version, Clip Studio Paint[24] comes with a 6-month free trial with 20% off your first subscription and users can get 66% off LumaFusion[25] along with a one-month free Creator Pass. Notion[26] also comes with a one-month free trial of its Plus plan with Notion AI, providing added flexibility for writing, planning and organisation.

In addition to these apps, users can explore a broader range of options that support different needs. Noteshelf 3[27] offers customisable layouts for capturing and organising ideas. ArcSite[28] empowers users with precision tools to turn creative sketches into CAD layouts. Sketchbook provides an intuitive space for illustration and concept art and Picsart[29] enables creators to bring their imagination to life through its own AI-driven design tools. Whether users are working on creative portfolios or need to boost productivity, these tools are designed to simplify everyday tasks and streamline workflows.

Next-Generation Mobile Security for AI Personalisation

Samsung is introducing ,[1] a new architecture designed to safeguard the next generation of personalised, AI-powered features, as its latest innovation in mobile security. KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring that each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more.

Supporting Galaxy’s Personal Data Engine (PDE),[2] KEEP helps secure a user’s personal insights – such as routines and preferences – that enable features like Now Brief and Smart Gallery search. These insights stay entirely on-device, protected by KEEP and furthersecured by Knox Vault. The result is a seamless foundation for Galaxy AI that delivers personalised intelligence while keeping data under the user’s control.

KEEP’s system-level structure allows it to scale across Galaxy AI[3] innovations. In addition to PDE, it now covers Now Brief, Smart Suggestions and other on-device features that rely on user-specific inputs – enabling more advanced AI experiences. With KEEP, Samsung is changing how mobile devices help safeguard data in the background to elevate privacy from a setting to an embedded design principle.

Smarter, More Connected Threat Response with Knox Matrix

As AI becomes more integrated across the ecosystem, Samsung is advancing protections that offer greater transparency and control for users, with Knox Matrix leading the way. Through One UI 8, Samsung is evolving Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive and user-friendly protection for connected Galaxy devices.

Users are notified across their connected Galaxy devices and guided to the ‘Security status of your devices’ page, where they can review the issue and take action. Even devices without the latest security status updates trigger a yellow-level warning.

Together, these updates make Samsung Galaxy’s ecosystem-level protection more dynamic, intuitive and visible, empowering users to maintain trust across all their devices with more confidence and clarity.

Secure Wi-Fi Strengthened with Encryption

In continuation of its commitment to security, Samsung is strengthening Secure Wi-Fi,[4] extending the trusted approach first introduced on the Galaxy S25 series through Post-Quantum Enhanced Data Protection (EDP). Secure Wi-Fi is now being upgraded with a new framework[5] designed to strengthen network protection.

In addition to this future-ready foundation, Secure Wi-Fi offers a suite of advanced privacy features:

• Auto Protect: Activates in public places like cafés, airports or hotels, securing Wi-Fi connections without requiring user action.
• Enhanced Privacy Protection (EPP): Encrypts internet traffic and routes it through multiple layers, combining packet encryption and relay to anonymise device information and help prevent tracking.
• Protection Activity: Provides visibility into protection history by showing which apps and networks were secured and how much data was encrypted over time.

A Trusted Platform with Built-In Safeguards

In addition to its latest innovations, Samsung continues to strengthen the core protections that underpin the Galaxy experience. These features reflect a multi-layered security approach that helps protect across hardware and software, while giving users greater visibility and control:

• Knox Vault secures sensitive credentials such as passwords, PINs and biometrics in a physically isolated environment.
• Auto Blocker helps provide defense, blocking unauthorised app installs, restricting command-based attacks and mitigating risks.
• Advanced Intelligence Settings gives users the option to turn off online data processing for AI features, so personal information can stay on-device.
• Enhanced Theft Protection helps protect personal data using safeguards like Identity Check and Security Delay to prevent unauthorised access.

This latest set of updates reinforces Samsung’s long-standing commitment to mobile security that evolves with innovation. It strengthens on-device privacy for personalised AI with  , expands transparency and user control through Knox Matrix, . As new security challenges emerge, Samsung remains focused on delivering safeguards that are built in, always on and ready for what’s next.

Intuitive, context-aware Galaxy AI[1] features bring these personalised experiences to life, transforming your smartphone from a tool to a smart companion that anticipates your needs and offers suggestions designed to make your life more productive, creative and connected.

To deliver a fully personalised experience, your device naturally needs access to certain data. This is what allows AI to understand you and tailor its responses in ways that are genuinely helpful and suited to your lifestyle. To ensure your personal data is safeguarded in this era of AI, we’re constantly innovating data protection on your device, to help ensure that nothing falls into the wrong hands.

Personalisation Made Possible with the Personal Data Engine

Samsung Electronics’ Personal Data Engine (PDE)[2] is a key component of safely delivering these highly personal experiences. First introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, the PDE is the powerhouse behind some of Galaxy’s most impactful AI experiences yet. It works silently behind the scenes to learn from your habits and preferences, resulting in a truly personalised, unique experience.

Whether it’s Now Brief[3] guiding you through your day with curated updates or simply finding that one perfect photo in your Gallery with natural language input, Galaxy AI¹ makes every AI-powered action feel seamless. And because the PDE safely processes your data on-device[4], you can enjoy all the benefits of deeply customised AI — without compromising privacy.

Powerful Advancements with Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection

To further strengthen the security of Galaxy AI¹ experiences, Samsung developed Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)[5] — a powerful new layer of on-device security that protects your most sensitive data without interrupting your experience. First developed for the PDE, KEEP now also safeguards other Galaxy AI¹ features like Smart Suggestions, Now Brief, Samsung Moments and more, running quietly in the background to ensure that each supported app is kept secure.

Think of your phone like a house. Each app has its own room — separate, but all under the same roof. Then there’s Secure Folder,[6] which works like a fully detached guesthouse with its own key, set apart from the main home. It’s great for keeping certain things extra private, especially when you want complete isolation from the rest of your device. But as AI features like the PDE start handling more sensitive tasks in real time, there’s a growing need for security that’s just as strong, yet more connected to your everyday experience.

That’s where KEEP comes in. Imagine turning part of the house into a private suite — still under the same roof, but with its own secure entrance that only you can use. It’s more private than a regular room, but not completely separate like the guesthouse. KEEP works the same way: it creates a secure, dedicated space for individual apps — like the PDE — so it can safely handle your data without sending it anywhere or getting in the way of how you use your phone.

As our mobile experiences become more intelligent, KEEP ensures your most personal data stays safe by design. Together with tools like Secure Folder, it reinforces Samsung’s multi-layered approach to data protection — giving both users and services the right type of security for different privacy needs.

With Galaxy AI becoming more personal, features like the Personal Data Engine and Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection are setting a new standard for mobile intelligence — where personalisation and privacy go hand in hand. As these experiences grow smarter and more attuned to your needs, you can rest assured that your most sensitive information will stay safe on your device, exactly where it belongs.

[6] Secure Folder offers users a separate and protected area of their phone or tablet to store sensitive apps and data. It allows users to set up separate profiles which can duplicate your apps. Users can customise the Secure Folder app and set up their own lock type, including PIN, pattern, password and fingerprint. For enhanced security, Secure Folder users are also provided with an option to hide and encrypt the Secure Folder, which helps keep data safe from advanced cybersecurity threats. While hidden, the apps will stop working to keep your data safe. Once the Secure Folder is opened again, the encryption will be deactivated, and the apps will resume normal operation.

One UI is Samsung’s integrated software platform, designed to help Galaxy devices simplify everyday routines and enhance productivity and convenience. Thanks to the mutual partnership between Samsung and Google, One UI 8 will debut on Samsung’s newest foldables and will gradually expand to more Galaxy devices[2] so users can now enjoy an enriched, more personalised mobile experience with the latest Android.

Through open communication, Samsung and Google actively shared their respective design systems and real-time feedback with one another, accelerating software development that made One UI 8 one of the first UI platforms to adopt Android 16.

In addition to being the first generation of upgrades to launch alongside new foldable devices, the launch of One UI 8 also initiates a new rhythm for Samsung’s software evolution with major UX and AI updates.

Personalised AI for Seamless, Natural Interactions

The official rollout of One UI 8 will introduce AI[3] experiences that will help make your everyday smarter and more convenient by enhancing AI features first introduced in Galaxy S25 series. There are three-main factors that realise this: multimodal capabilities, UX tailored to different device form factors, and personalised, proactive suggestions. Intelligent multimodality enables you to have natural, seamless communication with AI that understands what you’re looking at or watching in the moment. The updated UX is optimised to unique form factors across the Galaxy product portfolio, boosting your everyday productivity and efficiency. One UI 8 will also recognise your context, offering personalised, proactive suggestions that support your unique daily routine. Features like Now bar[4] and Now brief[5] will deliver even more customised insights and suggestions that help you stay on top of tasks and support your daily routine, through curated AI information.

This intelligent, personalised AI experience did not just come out of nowhere. It is made possible by robust security that helps safeguard your data. Samsung Knox Vault[6] combines a dedicated secure processor with secure memory to isolate sensitive data from the rest of your user data and helps ensure that no one else can physically or remotely reach your personal information.  One UI 8 also provides settings where you can choose to process data only on the device[7], as many of our Galaxy AI experiences use both on-device and cloud-based AI processing. With transparency and user choice at its core, One UI 8 will deliver a personalised AI experience without compromising privacy.

Enhanced Everyday Convenience

One UI 8 is not only about providing the AI experience, but also includes convenient, intuitive tools designed to make your day-to-day experiences with your mobile devices even more seamless. Auracast[8], a broadcast audio technology based on Bluetooth LE Audio[9], will support effortless audio connection via QR code scanning and sharing, allowing multiple Auracast devices[10] – like Galaxy Buds3 and hearing aids – to join a shared audio stream without the hassle of a complex manual setup. Additionally, customer support at repair centers will be faster and more convenient, thanks to QR and NFC-enabled support[11] accessible right in Samsung Account. You can now register with QR and NFC without having to write any registration form, reducing wait times and simplifying service requests.

Reminder app will be your travel supporter with more convenient and intuitive features. If you are planning a travel to New York with your family, you can manage all your reminders in one place as soon as you open the app with UX that is easy-looking even for first-time users. You can also share the reminder list filled with to-dos during your trip with your family and friends just by pressing a button. When your hands are full of shopping bags, you can use your voice to add reminders on the go as it is voice enabled.

Sharing memories with family and friends will also be easier than ever with enhanced Quick Share[12]. A single tap of the Quick Share button on the Quick Settings panel will let you instantly send and receive files

The future of Galaxy AI starts now.
